Google voice number on caller ID? - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

I've been told by several people that when I call them an Oklahoma phone number shows up rather than my actual cell number. I do use Google Voice for voice mail transcripts.
How can I get my carrier phone number to show up for recepients when I call?

A google voice question on evo

Hey guys, so I have a google account and downloaded the google voice app for droid. Question is if I make a call via google to a different number (both cell and tie line), does it count against my anytime minute? I do have unlimited mobile to mobile, and unlimited to any wireless #. Thing is google voice makes call to a 916 number, and not sure if it's tie line of cell.
Thoughts?
The google voice number that dial out from if you have it set to show the GV number then it will use minutes. receiving calls works the same way.

[Q] google voice call routing

So, I'm using Google Voice to talk to a bunch of people via text.. but they don't have my Verizon number. I'm wondering if there is a way to route individual people so that when I call them, they see my Voice number.
I know that I can make it so that my phone asks which I'd like to use for every call I make, but is there a way so that if I call X person it goes through voice, but if I call everyone else in my contact list it goes through my Verizon number.
Thanks!
Yes there is, when you call/recieve a text using your google voice number.. a routing number shows up. This number is unique to everyone. (When you call it briefly shows it at the top of the screen)
Save this number and if you text or call it directly from your cell phone (no google voice) your google voice number will show up. So save this routing number for whoever you want to call with google voice only.

Too Many Rings Google Voice Voicemail on AT&T Phone

I installed Google Voice on my AT&T HTC One X and installed the Google Voice App. I disabled the AT&T Visual Voicemail and AT&T Messages apps.
I add the cell number to my Google Voice account. I went through the process to enter the code to forward voicemail on my phone to my Google Voice number.
** I selected the option in Advanced Settings for the cell number to "go directly to Voicemail" in Google voice **
However, when I call my cell, it rings 5 times, then forwards to Google Voice, then rings 5 times before the Voicemail picks up, so it takes 10 or 11 rings to get to my voicemail!
I used a separate phone and called my Google Voice number directly and it takes 5 rings before voicemail picks up.
It seems that Google Voice for some reason isn't recognizing my cell as a forwarded to voicemail call and is treating it like a normal call.
Help!
You might want to ask this in the AT&T One X forum, this one is for Tegra 3.

I think I figured it out. Since AT&T doesn't have "tight" GV integration, like Verizon, to activate you are essentially just forwarding the call. When the call comes in to GV, the number is not the number of the cell, but the number of the person calling, so GV doesn't know if this is a direct call or a forwarded call that was unanswered from the cell.
There's a simple solution but it only works because I'm not using my GV phone number for incoming calls. Just turn the Do Not Disturb feature on in GV and now all calls go direct to voicemail.
Moderator: You can move this to AT&T forum if you want.

This works alright but GV does not pick up voicemail when Do Not Disturbe is turned on....at least this is what I am finding.

[Q] Google Voice fails to intercept international calls

I know this is not a rom issue, because exact same thing has been happening on my previous rom as well. My Google Voice is set up to make outgoing calls via Google Voice for international calls only. What's happening is - Voice only intercepts calls, when the phone # is punched directly on the dial pad of the Phone app. If i try to make international phone call, by clicking the number in my Contacts, or another app tries to dial international number directly, bypassing the dial pad - Google Voice doesnt intercept these calls and my phone dials those numbers directly, resulting in large bills from T-Mobile for international calls without a plan.
Does anyone know if this is Google Voice issue or Android issue and how to fix this?
bump....anyone?

Lollipop Update Breaks Google Voice Functionality - Incorrect Outgoing Phone Number

Lollipop update for the HTC M8 which was pushed by sprint breaks previous google voice functionality. When I dial out using google voice to call a number, the call history shows the google number instead of the the number I am calling. This was NOT the case before the lollipop update. There is no way to know which clients I have called now when I look at my call history because all I see is the google phone number.
Who's at fault here google voice or HTC?
